Having a "I don't like this new stuff" reaction, but it is worse.

30 years ago, there were Bryan Adams, U2, TLC, Diana King, Biggie, and Bon Jovi in the top 10.

I don't like most of them but at least there's different things and they don't just feel like background music.

Coming to think of it, the pretty much only interesting song in there was one by Billie Eilish. I might be wrong (and I don't know anything about them) but it sounds like they even wrote it themselves... Which is definitely not the case with the slob.

I even understand (to some degree) if someone likes U2, the Beatles, or Nu Metal...

I just listened to the top 25 in the streaming charts... what's that crap?

There's a lot of good music I really don't like (all of classic and edm, for example), but this stuff in the streaming charts really feels like it's slob that might as well be generated by some algorithm.

We're currently looking into it (although protein engineering) and believe me we'll publish 😁

2030, bit that point they'll probably have to ask the Chinese to lend them a hand to get it there because $paceX blew through all the budged building large firecrackers and launching useless satellites.

On this day in 1962, Nelson Mandela and Cecil Williams, both members of the ANC and its militant arm Umkhonto we Sizwe, were arrested. Williams, is released the next day; Mandela 28 years later.

Tesla Diner Patio Covering Collapses, Smashes Mother on Head and Barely Misses Baby It appears that Tesla's new Los Angeles diner is about as sturdily made as a Cybertruck β€” which is to say, not at all.

The "Tesler Diner" is already falling apart....

A good reminder, on this Swiss national holiday, that our (and I include all of Europe and the countries on the land we stole) "success" is based on the brutal exploitation of the rest of the world.

The most effective answer to that is increasing collaboration with the other superpower. Even the low probability of this happening has kept the US in check (when it comes to the economy in relation to Europe) during much of the last century.

LLMs might be the ultimate example of how machines don't create value and the value all comes from the input, which is human labour.
It also examplifies how deeply exploitative this process of transferring value is.
